What would you say is the easiest WCA event to learn how to solve?

[Glendering]

I'm trying to get my sister to learn an event so we can go to competitions together.

I'd say Pyraminx by far.

Edit: Clock is easy too as it's 100% intuitive. But maybe your sister would have a hard time understanding that.

I would also agree that pyraminx is the easiest event to learn, but if you would learn one for the first time, I'd just suggest 3x3, just because it's the original. Also, there are a lot of resources for 3x3, and in my opinion, it would be more fun.

 

[Glendering]

Thank you guys for the response I got a clock for chiasmas and I've tried teaching it to my sister already, however it is very cheap and gets jammed very easy. Pyraminx sounds like a good idea I'll try teaching her that.

Pyra, clock or 2x2(why not teach her how to solve a 3x3? It's just 5 algs(the 2 F2L algs, sexy move and it's mirror, sune))

@Glendering

I made this decision too when I has teaching my brother. He had a harder time learning 2x2 and pyraminx compared to clock which he learned in less than 30 minutes and fell in love with. (whereas he forgot pyra)

Plus the LL algs

and 2x2

What about Skewb? All you do is spam sledgehammers over and over again

The turning on skewb is unintuitive

 

[Glendering]

So I'm considering teaching my sister pyraminx. Are there any good beginner guides you guys would recommend?

 

[the dnf master]

use noah richardson's tutorial. I used it, and it was really detailed and easy to understand

best wishes to you and your sister

It's pretty intuitive you just need to know two triggers. this, and this seems good for a beginner and this and this for something more Intermediate.

Thank you I'll look into it!

pyra is very intuitive. Try teaching her intuitive L4E as it requires close to no algs. For comparison 2x2 has 2 algorithms.

Tell her to correct 3 centres of any 1 face, then the tips, then 2 edges, so no preservation of blocks. Then do l4e

 

[qwr]

you can solve a pyraminx just my solving each face and randomly breaking up faces when there is an issue

You know, I think 5 bld is a pretty easy event to get your sister started on

I'd say FMC.

 

[Waffles]

I'd say FMC.

You’re forgetting 9FMCBLDWF!!! Easiest event ever!
